Marriage is a Choice.

Marriage is a choice.

It's not just a piece of paper. 

(The piece of paper just makes it legal. If legal makes it official, then do that.)

But, marriage is still a choice. A choice you make Every. Single. Day. 

You choose to commit, every single day.

You choose to be dedicated, every single day.

You choose to understand, to love, to care, to listen, every single day.

The butterflies of dating, of the big question and the yes, the butterflies of the wedding day, they all fly away. 

Marriage is creating new butterflies. 

You choose to keep the excitement alive.

You choose to see that person you fell in love with.

You choose to be intentional with your life together.

Marriage isn't for the weak. It's not for the lonely. 

Marriage is selfless. It's ever changing.

Marriage is meeting in the middle. It's compromise.

Marriage means you are their biggest cheerleader, their teacher, their best friend, their coach.

You are with them on the best days. 

You are with them on the worst days. 

You think of them with every choice you make. 

Marriage can be rewarding.

Marriage can be an amazing journey.

Marriage can be powerful. 

If you make that choice, every single day.
